At the end of 2021, SpaceX will send ordinary people into Earth's orbit who have not undergone special training at the NASA aerospace agency. The flight will use the Crew Dragon spacecraft, which in 2020 successfully sent two American astronauts to the International Space Station. The new mission was created at the request of businessman Jared Isaacman, who will fly alone and take three more people with him. The name of the second passenger is still being kept secret, but he is a representative of one of the charitable hospitals in the US state of Tennessee. The third and fourth places inside the Crew Dragon ship are not yet occupied, but almost every person has a chance to sit in one of them. The free places will be drawn as part of two competitions, which will be discussed in this article. To win the competition, you need luck and a little more…



The Inspiration4 mission was announced on the official norway number data SpaceX website. It was organized by order of Shift4 Payments founder Jared Isaacman and representatives of St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. The mission organizers will occupy two seats inside the Crew Dragon spacecraft. They are ready to give the remaining seats free of charge to two random people who will take part in their competition. To try your luck and take third place on the ship, you need to register on the Inspiration4 website , donating $ 10 or more to St. Jude Hospital. The fourth place is being played as part of a similar competition on the Shift4Shop website owned by Jared Isaacman . Apparently, the winners will be determined randomly.

But to win the competition, it is not only luck that is important. The fact is that not everyone can withstand a flight to Earth's orbit. SpaceX passengers will not undergo long-term training in NASA space simulators. Participants will undergo a medical examination, physical training and briefing, but they will clearly not go through the entire long journey of becoming astronauts. Therefore, so that SpaceX does not suddenly refuse to fly, you need to make sure that you meet certain requirements. Only people up to 198 centimeters tall and weighing no more than 113.4 kilograms will be allowed to fly. In addition, psychological readiness for the flight is very important.
